What was in the bottle was less than $50. In all the trips Ive made there I probably gathered a few hundred dollars worth, but spent far more getting there and digging it up. As is the case with all hobbies.
haven't had a great day, bit my best day was several small pickets. Maybe a pennyweight. One day I found a pennyweight nugget. That was probably the best.
If you're picking up the tiny flakes, you're doing pretty good. What I do sometimes is run a sluce behind my box, and then clean that out separate to see if there is any gold that would have otherwise been missed. And, my finding has ALWAYS been nada. For many years I have done this. So, I think in the end, due to the sheir gravity of gold, you're mistakes have to be pretty agredious (sp?) before you begin to lose gold.
When you were feeding the highbanker why didn't you try screening some of those larger rocks out (or using a concentrator pan)--less to clean up afterwards and maybe a little more gold might even settle in your outfit?? Just a thought . . . Nice setup, I visited this area right after the 64' earthquake--haven't been back since, unfortunately. regards, .
the highbanker has a screen on top, it's hard to see. No need to classify. It has a two stage classification system. Saves lots o time. Works good. Had a bad spot fir gold though. Thanks.

We aiways do camp fires of this nature too. Comes in handy to melt the gold to poor into our molds and make our one ounce ingots. :)
